WEDDING CAKE

I have to admit that doing this wedding cake gave me wedding day jitters just like when I got married........all the planning and preparing all for this very day.  I was nervous but excited!  Not 100% sure about the bride and groom, but for me that day went over with out a hitch.  It was soooooo much fun!  The baking all went perfectly and setting up went great.  My best friend went with me to help set up and we had a fun time hanging out.  Such a wonderful experience and Ashlee the bride was WONDERFUL to work with.

Wedding cake........pre flowers

 4 tiered wedding cake with red and purple flowers.  White layers with vanilla butter cream, and one chocolate layer with vanilla butter cream.

Table cloths were supposed to be off white, but I am guessing there was a problem.......I think it just made the cake show up better

 Cupcake centerpieces, with purple flowers and red rose petals from the florist

So once again life has gotten in the way of my blogging.......not my baking......just my blogging about it :)  I have still been pretty busy with cakes, and really hope that continues.  Found out earlier this month that my job has been eliminated so after the end of the month......I don't have a job!  Hopefully cakes will pick up and keep me busy :)

So here is just a quick snap shot of my last few months in cakes :)

Purse cake for a "girl party" that my mom and her friends were having.......





Just for fun I tried to make a zebra cake......makes me wanna go on a safari adventure :)




.......the Millennium Falcon.  A friend asked me to make this for her husband who is a HUGE STAR WARS  fan.  Had to get lots of info from my hubby.....who is also a STAR WARS fan :)



Bridal Shower fun.  I have a wedding that I am doing and the made of honor emailed and asked if i could make bridal shower cakes ( I made a cake like this for my now SIL's shower and they really liked it).  The wedding colors are red, silver and purple so I went with these.





My sister in law likes to garden so when my brother wanted me to make a cake and suggested gardening.....I knew just what I wanted to do.  The veggies are all made out of different kinds of candy! 



My husband wanted to know why i put a cross and tombstone in the garden......he didn't realize it was a shovel.
Pea pods were my favorite!


Toy Story 3 cake for a sweet little girl.  VERY fun cake to make!


Lastly a BMW.  Certainly not my favorite cake but not bad for my first attempt at a car cake.......hopefully do better on my second attempt :)



The cat and the hat knows alot about that........Cat in the hat "HAT"  cake for a 3 year old who loves the show on PBS
